50 things you ought to know about Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech was 37 minutes long, making it one of the shortest acceptance speeches. The record for the shortest speech is held by George McGovern in 1972 (22 minutes). Harris will not want to repeat McGovern’s record in which he lost the election to Nixon by a landslide. McGovern only managed 17 electoral votes and one state (plus DC), while Nixon won 520 electoral votes and 49 states.
